    You all know how important eating locally and seasonally is to me and Chris, and how much I love summer CSAs, pick-your-own strawberries (x2!), and picking and canning ridiculous amounts of tomatoes. But I won’t lie, it’s taken me a while to adapt to eating on Nantucket where everything is more expensive, the growing season…

    I’m so tempted to post a Wordless Wednesday post, but I feel guilty for neglecting the blog so much that I’m not going to let myself do it.  So instead, I’ll share pictures of pick-your-own strawberries at Bartlett’s Farm and tell you what we’ve been up to the past couple days, which is just about…

I made this recipe while my friend Laura was visiting, as part of our pumpkin week during which we ate pumpkin cinnamon rolls, pumpkin- cranberry pancakes with chocolate chips instead of cranberries (for lunch after Nora had to get her finger pricked at the doctor’s —…

    I finally had a few moments to look through the pictures from Saturday’s pick-your-own at Bartlett’s.  It was overcast and spitting rain drops off and on all day, but we couldn’t have had a better time. (And the gray weather was the perfect excuse for pulling out an adorable pair of overalls…I love itty-bitty, pink…

    Quick Irene Report For our worried friends and relatives, we were much luckier than than many and didn’t see a single drop of rain.  In fact, we woke up to bright and shiny skies that persisted through much of the day.  Most of the concern on Nantucket were high speed winds, astronomically high tides, and very dangerous…

    Adapted from Janae Monir See more recipes here While we were flush with strawberries after two weekends of picking, I also happened across a rather delicious looking recipe for Blueberry Crumb Cake.  Being the baker that I am, I decided it would be the perfect starting point for a second strawberry muffin recipe (I also…

    Yesterday was pretty fabulous.  It started out good and just seemed to get better and better – and I’m talking about more than winning a $700 stroller.  Chris got up with Nora, as is our weekend tradition, and I got to sleep in until 9:00, which always feels ridiculously decadent.  I never would have thought…

  • Toddling into Fall

    When October showed up last week, I was still in denial about fall.  It had been sunny and warm here (mid-70’s) and though the weather man threatened rain all last week, none showed up.  It was a wonderful Indian summer.  Now, I love fall, but I was enjoying September so much, with its lack of…

    Yesterday was dreary.  It was gray, rainy, and in the 50’s.  Not to mention, the day was long – it started very early – because someone decided that it was playtime at 6 am. And, worst yet, we did a lot of driving yesterday: to the recycling center and landfill, back home, to Annye’s Whole…
